While I wouldn't say that I'm in total agreement with Kayoz, I've certainly cooled off on Limit Theory over the last year or so. Josh's use of Starlanes / Spacelanes has really squashed any excitement I might have had about this project. Nothing ...

There's a word in English. "Sarcasm". Look it up. You clearly didn't understand my post.<br/>

I've read his (Josh's) post and watched some of his ennui inspiring videos on his site. There isn't any "game" forming. It's overdue, nowhere near ...

I'd rather see Freelancer II myself. Best space sim ever made.<br/>

I always thought Freelancer had the easiest control system of them all. Only thing bad about Freelancer is it had no dynamic trading world ...

However I think this resurrection is a tad premature. The time has not yet come, as LT is not yet released. The updates and articles can negate much of Kayoz' negative speculation, but the ultimate proof - the fulfillment of that which I ...

I had a chat with a friend of mine that does muck about with cross-platform projects. My position is now one of glee. Much like the sense of excitement one gets in watching a slow-motion video of a traffic accident.<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>

Haha ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Lucian<br/>
I'm sure that Josh will correct me if I'm wrong but I think I remember him saying that the LT code was already very portable (sorry, cant remember where I heard that or I would post it). He's working in Visual Studio with all the power of the .net ...

I do have concerns about something you said earlier about path finding not being an issue. My problem is that in the old Elite games, it was almost impossible to avoid having the AI smack your ships straight into planets and stations, often at several ...

Ok Josh, now that Kayoz and I are best-est buddies, let me play devil's advocate for a moment.<br/>

I'm done - if you still want to throw money at Josh, then all I can say is "you were warned". Kickstarter has a "<I><s>[i]</s>caveat emptor<e>[/i]</e></I>" policy - nobody can protect you from yourself.

I will not waste any more time discussing matters with someone who clearly does not have any desire for a serious conversation, nor any desire to confess to a lack of practical experience. To someone who knows the field intimately, it's more than obvious that you're arguing ...

A* has been around for ages, yes - I'm quite well aware of that. There are as many variations of it as there are implementations, though - since that largely depends on how you do your map. <br/>

My observation was based on two statements:<br ...

That response is almost distressingly scary. If path-finding is a big deal, Josh has some shocks in for him.

Indeed, getting your brain wrapped around binary space partitioning can make your grey matter dribble out your ears. But it's all been done before. There's a vast amount of documentation and resources to help you through all the rough spots. With AI ...
